Washington.--President Taft made public the much discussed and long expected report on the United States Steel corporation submitted to him by the bureau of corporations. Signed by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, the re­ port makes no recommendations and is almost whnlly narrative in form, ^fr. Smith declares that restriction of competition was a prime object of the organizers of the steel corporation, or so-called "trust." Capitalized at $1,402,000,000, the cor­ poration, he asserts, had tangible prop­ erty worth only $682,000,000. By con­ stant reinvestment of earnings, how­ ever, the report points out, much oi the "water" In the company has been eliminated. The steel corporation now owqb 75 per cent, of the lake ores, having re­ cently concentrated Its efTorts to se­ curing these "properties. On this point the report 6ays: "Indeed, in so far as the steel cor­ poration's position in the entire Iron and steel industries is of monopolistic character, it is chiefly through its control of ore holdings and the trans­ portation of ore." Discussing in detail how "the Im­ pending struggle of the giants" was averted almost over night by the for­ mation of the great combination of combinations, taking in 250 subsidiary companies controlling 60 per cent, of the total crude and finished steel production of the country, the report says: "Until 1898 the bulk of the busi­ ness was distributed among a very considerable number of concerns. There was sharp competition, modi­ fied by frequent pools of greater or lens duration and effectiveness." Then came an era of great combina­ tions, the report continues, with capi­ talizations ranging from $30,000,000 to $100,000,000, mergers of many smaller companies, which, Instead of eliminat­ ing competition, threatened to bring price cutting on a larger scale thm> ever before. In 1899-1900 there -wme three great companies--the Carnegie company, Federal Steel and National Steel--dominating the production of crude and semi-finished products, and six concerns--the American Steel and Wire, American Tin Plate, American Steel Hcop, American Sheet Steel, Na­ tional Tube and American Bridge-- controlling the lighter finished pro­ ducts. This was the period when the "strug­ gle of the giants" was impending and when the formation of the United States Steel corporation was con­ ceived and brought about. All nine of the companies named were combined, and later the Union Steel company, the Clairton Steel company, and. In 1907, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company were taken over. The promoting syndicate putting the deal through netted $62,500,000 in cash. The commissioner finds t£at compe­ tition, so far as prices are concerned, haB been modified by the policy of "co-operation" Inaugurated at the "Gary dinners," about which so much has been said before the congressional steel investigating committee. The present valuation of the com­ bine's tangible property is placed at $1,187,000,000, as against $1,468,000,000 outstanding securities, an Increase of about $487,000,000 in property, while only about $66,000,000 has been added to capitalization.

When Charles Chester Allen was asked whether his uncle had been forced to resign, he made an emphatic denial. New York.--Collector William Loeb, Jr., declared that all the plans made by Richard Parr, deputy surveyor of the port, for visiting Chicago to investigate the smuggling charges against Nathan Allen, millionaire leather man of Kenosha, Wis., Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jenkins and John R. Collins, their southern friend, wers laid before Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh at Washington before Pair Binfieu on hio trip. Pending official developments in the case, ten men and women of social prominence in this city are under sur­ veillance and the names of a score art on the suspect list of Collector Loeb.

New London, Conn.--Harvard won the annual boat race from Yale here by a liberal margin. At one point the Crimson boat was nine lengths ahead of the Blue craft. The Cambridge men caught the water easily and took the lead from the start, and at the finish were pull­ ing easily. An aeroplane circled over the course during the progress of the race. The official time of the varsity race was: Harvard, 22:44; Yale, 23:40ft. Harvard won by fourteen lengths. Yal« pulled out a victory In the freshmen eights by a superb spurt in the last half /iniie, while the Harvard substitute ^yarslty fours, leading from the start, defeated Yale by two lengths. Both races were rowed well, but a contrary wind and a slack tide made the time slow. Mother Slays Children and Herself. Lockey, Tex.--Searchers found the body of Mrs. Maude McCrary of Los Angeles, Cal., hanging from a wind­ mill in the rear of a house she had been occupying, and the bodies of her three children, with their throats cut in the weeds near the dwelling.

HINES DENIES STORY Ddares Funk Suggested Fund Be Raised. Lumberman on Stand Before Lorimer Investigating Committee--Per­ jury Is Hinted At Washington.--Edward Hlnes, the Chicago lumberman, denied on the witness stand the story of Clarence S. Funk that be (Hlnes) had asked $10,000 for the election of Senator Lorimer. He also contradicted the testimony of W. H. Cook as to the al­ leged telephone conversation with Governor Deneen. Hlnes gave his version of the much discussed talk with Funk at the Union League club at Chicago, sftld he was sitting in the club with Fred Carney of Marinette, Wis.; Charles Hall, Sault Ste. Marie, and Isaac Baker of Chicago. Mr. Funk aproached and shook hands. -The witness continued: "He (Funk) said: 'I am very glad to hear of Mr. Lorimer's election to the senate.' I said I was glad to hear him say so. He said, 'I would like very much to have you arrange to Introduce me to Senator Lorimer. I have never met hltn.' "Then we walked over toward the entrance of the club and he said: 1 understand the senator must have been put to more or less expense for this senatorship, and he ought not to stand it The business interests ought to take it off his hands. We would like to contribute 1' "I said. 1 do not know anything about that. I will see about It and let you know."* Hines said he did not tell Lorimer Funk wanted to tontrlbute.

Central California and Western Ne­ vada Are Jarred--Property Dam­ age Slight--People Flee Into Streets in Panic. San Francisco.--Two earthquake shocks, the heaviest since the big shake of 1906, and separated by only a few seconds, jarred the central part of California and western Nevada. The first sharp shock, experienced at 2:01 o'clock, was followed within a few seconds by one of similar in­ tensity, each lasting ahout fiv® see* onds. Only slight damage was report­ ed from any section, but In San Fran­ cisco, Oakland and other cities in the affected area, panic seized upon crowds in stores and restaurants, and there was a pell mell exodus from the large buildings. One peculiar feature of the earth­ quake was that it did not appear to follow the old "fault" In the earth's crust, which has been the playground of tremblors in the past, but extend­ ed from the seacoast eastward to the Sierras, including hitherto exempt mountain areas. It was felt to the northward of Sac­ ramento in the Sacramento valley, southward as far as Fresno, and to the east to Carson and Reno, Nev., the former place experiencing the heaviest shock in its history. Some slight damage was done to buildings in San Francisco. Heavy stcuss in the ccrriice of tile Me­ chanics' bank building were moved slightly out of alignment; superficial ^cracks were made in several sky­ scrapers; cornices of the new post office building were disarranged, minor damage was done to the in­ terior wails of a number of other structures. Within a few seconds after the first shock many downtown buildings were depopulated by a rush to the streets. Telephone and telegraph service was suspended by the operators deserting their posts. Herbert Hadley, a lodging house In­ mate, died of fright, and some cases of hysteria and of cuts or bruises re­ ceived in the panic were treated at the hospitals* Santa Rosa, which suffered a great­ er disaster in proportion to Its size than did Sa-n Francisco in the catas­ trophe of 1906, scarcely felt the shock. San Jose, another heavy sufferer In 1906, reported the shock was the se­ verest experienced since that time, but it did no serious damage. Stockton and Fresno residents were frightened by the Jarring, but there, as in Sacramento, where the state of­ fices were deserted in a hurry as a re­ sult of the shock, the damage to buildings was trifling. In Carson City, Nev., the shock was severe. The federal court was in ses­ sion and judge, jury and attorneys rushed to the street. EXPRESS PROBE IS ORDERED Commerce Board Will Make Sweeping Inquiry Into Companies' Rate Charges and Business Methods. Washington.--A sweeping in vestige tion of all the express companies do­ ing business in the United States was formally ordered by the interstate commerce commission. This action follows close /an a re markable move made in filing with the commission new schedules of tariffs in all parts of the country. Although it will take several months to com­ pare these new with the old rates, it is understood the companies have re­ duced most of their charges. The question of a deep probe of ex­ press companies' affairs has been un­ der consideration by the commission ever since its reorganization last Jan­ uary. It was decided a fortnight ago to embark upon the Inquiry, but the announcement was withheld. In mak­ ing public the order the commission stated that the filing of new rates by the companies will affect the investi­ gation in no way. The inquiry will be without limit In scope or time. In the words of the official announcement, the investiga­ tion 1b ordered "to determine whether such rates, classifications, regulations or practices, or any of them, are un­ just or unreasonable, or unjustly dis­ criminatory, or unduly preferential or prejudicial, or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions" of the inter­ state commerce act, "and to deter­ mine the manner and method in which the business of said express compa­ nies and each of them is conducted." About a year ago, however, 100 com­ mercial organizations filed a request for a general investigation of the^ex- press trust, with a view to the equitar ble reduction of the rates charged.

HEART RIGHT. •/hen He Quit Coffee. i life Insurance Companies will not Insure a man suffering from heart trouble. The reason is obvious. This Is a serious matter to the hus­ band or father who Is solicitous for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused by an un­ expected thing and can be corrected If taken In time and properly treated. A man In Colorado writes: "I was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a practical Invalid, suffering from heart trouble, Indigestion and nervousness to an .extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and a nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings. "I continued to drink coffee, how­ ever, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill-health, till on applying for life insurance I was rejected on ao- count of the trouble with my heart Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it altogether and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum I began Its use. "The change in my condition was re­ markable. All my ailments vanished. My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness disappeared, and, most important of all, my heart stead­ ied down and became normal, and on a second examination I was accepted by the Life Insuranoe Co. Quitting coffee and using Postum worked the change." Name given by Postum Co., • Battle Creek., Mich. "Thereto a reason." and it is ex­ plained in the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
